My as usual - blunt answer is - we all need the money :(<br /><br />And when we lack love and money or whatever else, truth is, the only thing left we have to do is look within ourselves. <br /><br />That&#39;s a bit OTT for me, but you get the idea. Not much choice really. Gotta be pragmatic. Lots of dreams have gone. Need to change them, that&#39;s all, even though it is difficult :(roughseasinthemedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362795583263821176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003888037439840533.post-19684680564200110762012-01-16T20:09:16.155+01:002012-01-16T20:09:16.155+01:00When I was younger and going through a &quot;bad p...When I was younger and going through a &quot;bad patch&quot;, I could always go to bed at night and dream of what might be possible in the future; the places I might visit, the houses I could design and build, the people I might meet, the jobs I could get, and what if...now, after a bad day, I no longer have that comfort available. No point in planning trips as I have lost the urge for pastures new, no chance in the present financial crisis of selling our large but dated house, built before modern building regulations, so no way to finance a new build, no one will give me a job at my age even if I was capable of doing it, and meeting new people is hard for someone who doesn&#39;t get out much...LOL... my dreams and aspirations for travel are now much closer to home... planning trips to town that allow me to avoid the ever changing street repairs and still get OH where he needs to be the next day without him having to walk more than a few yards unaided. There are some good points to getting older; I used to get really, really annoyed when lying awake listening to OH snore. Now I don&#39;t, I just think how much worse I would feel if he <i>wasn&#39;t</i> there snoring...Totty Teabaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01303238370591634781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003888037439840533.post-28430699448251349192012-01-16T20:02:13.542+01:002012-01-16T20:02:13.542+01:00Kate - your take is different from mine yet there ...Kate - your take is different from mine yet there is much we share, since you read deep, beyond the words of my post possibly because we email talk!<br />But, once cast adrift from the job market, no matter the reason, survival is all we have, and money even if not our God makes a life.<br />You are blessed with Adrian &amp; Pippa but cash not - me I have a little to hand after my &#39;move&#39; but no love as aspirations there have died!<br />What is worse I ponder.<br />Hope is what we all need, it lifts our spirits but when constantly dashed we struggle.Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946934087212528017noreply@blogger.com
